The Residential Treatment Program at Sarah Reed’s main campus provides transitional, affordable housing to at-risk children ages
5-18 with severe emotional, mental health and behavioral health challenges, many of whom have also experienced sexual and/or
physical abuse. Our Residential Program provides the intensive round-the-clock medical, psychiatric, therapeutic, and educational
support that is vital to each child’s healing and continued growth and success. 100% of the children who are admitted have a
mental health diagnosis and most are from very low income families. They reside at one of Sarah Reed’s residence halls for the
duration of their stay, which ranges from six to twelve months.
From a facilities perspective our plan calls for the removal of two
1960s-style, two-story, 19-bed residential units and replacing them with
two new single-story, 12-bed single units. We will also be
constructing an additional new 12-bed unit on our campus. These three
new units will closely adhere to the design of Susan Hirt Hagen Hall
and the recently constructed James N. Herr Hall, which have proven to
be an excellent layout for our children.
Once the campus master plan is complete, we will have six new units,
each having a capacity of six single bedrooms on each side of the unit.
We will then be able to serve 72 children of different ages, genders and
diagnoses at one time.
The newly configured units will also greatly improve our staffing
capability, the safety of the children as well as the staff, and will help
reduce our growing waiting list for service. Finally, being able to
place children in single bedrooms will also reduce the risk associated
with housing traumatized children with their peers.

The Impact of the Residential Treatment Program
Who We Serve
Over the last decade, Sarah Reed's Residential Treatment Program has
helped 604 children from 44 counties across the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania. We are very proud of the first-class reputation our
agency has earned in the successful treatment of children with
emotional, mental and behavioral health challenges, and our staff is
highly trained to work with children who have suffered severe trauma
and abuse. Many families who tour our residential facilities are
immediately impressed by Sarah Reed's warm, personalized campus
atmosphere.
"Children want to stay longer because they feel safe, secure and are
treated with respect. They feel like they have grown and are part of a
family here at Sarah Reed," said Dr. Adrienne Dixon, associate vice
president of residential treatment services and community support
at Sarah A. Reed Children's Center.
The success of this program has caused a sharp increase in demand for
Sarah Reed's specialized level of psychiatric care.
Based in Erie, PA (Millcreek Township), Sarah Reed's
Residential Treatment Program has earned a first-class
reputation across the Commonwealth. Since 2008, we've served
